Dark electro

Dark electro

Dark Electro was a musical movement of the 1990s, developed in central Europe. The term describes the sinister sounds of electronic music groups such as yelworC, Mortal Constraint, Arcana Obscura, Calva Y Nada, Placebo Effect, Trial or Tri-state, and was first used in December 1992 in connection to the album announcement of "Brainstorming", the debut album of yelworC. [Zillo Music Magazine · Issue No. 12/92 · Album announcement of "Brainstorming" · Pages 43 · Germany · December 1992] In February 1993, the term had been mentioned in a review to the same album. [Zillo Music Magazine · Issue No. 2/93 · Review of the album "Brainstorming" · Pages 49 · Germany · February 1993]

The music style was mainly inspired by electronic/post-industrial acts such as The Klinik and Skinny Puppy. The compositions were mostly complex arranged and blended with horror soundscapes, and grunts or distorted vocals. A notable artist was "YelworC", a music group from Munich, formed in 1988. They laid the foundations of the "Dark Electro" movement in the early 1990s and represented the first artist on the well-known German label "Celtic Circle Productions".

In following years, "Dark Electro" was displaced by techno-influenced styles such as aggrotech and futurepop, who often mis-label themselves as "Dark Electro".

Recently, the band Grendel revived dark electro with their song "Zombie Nation."
